‘A massive shock’ – Cameron Rogers beats Filippo Ganna to claim Tour of Austria prologue win

The 19-year-old Australian Cameron Rogers (Lidl-Trek Future) was sitting on the hot seat during the prologue at the 2.1 ranked Tour of Austria expecting to cede the top position as the two-time world champion in the race against the clock and five-time Italian champion Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) thundered toward the line.

However, when the clock stopped Rogers had triumphed by one second. The nephew of retired three-time world time trial champion Michael Rogers had taken his first win in an elite UCI-ranked race on the 3km course in the centre of St. Pölten, the capital of Lower Austria.
